Sorry for the long break, I've been busy working on the next major version of Downcast, v3.0. For the initial release of v3.0 my focus is modernizing the UI and underlying codebase changes that will reduce bugs, improve performance, and make adding features and making changes a far less time consuming process. Downcast has been playing catchup with iOS and macOS releases for a while now and v3.0 should help to break that cycle. After the initial release, the plan is to push out some other significant improvements as quickly as possible.

Notable changes in v3.0:

Universal and modernized UI for iOS

Full support for dynamic type

Variable height table rows

Alternate dark color scheme

Improved PIP support on iPad

Improved performance and reduction in memory related crashes

Better organized settings

Support for browsing episode chapters in the episode details view

Improved playback speed control

Improved sleep timer

Improved Help & Feedback section

After v3.0 (In order of priority)

CloudKit transition (v3.1)

Manual playlists (v3.2)

Localization (v3.3)

Something really cool (more later)

Watch app upgrade

Apple TV

Anything else...

Maintenance Releases & iOS 10 -
There will be a maintenance release prior to the release of v3.0. This will mainly be meant to deal with any issues encountered during the iOS 10 beta releases or any other minor bug fixes I can squeeze in.
